STOLE THE KID.
Dave Majors Fined for Raising q
disturbance about His Own
Child.

Mrs. Joe Peltier came rushing down
town yesterday morning, bare-headed
and much excited, hunting a police
man to arrest her son-in-law, Dave
Majors, who, she said, had abducted
her daughters four year-old child and
threatened to kill all three. She
found her way into Justice Fishers

Majors. TIE warrant was served by
Deputy Constable William Drake,
who arrested Majors after a run of
about three miles.
Majors was arraigned before Justice

disturbing the peace. Mrs Peltier tes-
titled that Mrs. Majors was her daugh-
ter, and that Majors had left his wife
seven months ago, and since then has
done nothing to support either the
wife or the child. Yesterday MORN
ing he hunted her up, and asked her
to live with him again as his wife.
This she refused to do, when he pick.
ed up the little girl and started to
leave the room. Mrs. Majors tried to
detain him, and Mrs. Peltier came to
her rescue. but the man succeeded in
getting away from them both. He
ran, his wife following him. She
overlook him and recovered the child,
Majors threatening to kill her, the
child and his mOther-in-law with a
long, keen knife which the younger
woman said Majors drew on her.
The defendant made a statement
denying the use or threatened use of
a knife. but claiming he had a right
to the child, and would get it sooner
or later.
The justice found Majors guilty. of
disturbing the peace and fined him IS
and costs. He had not a penny, and
was committed to the county jail.

A case on appeal just decided by
the general term of the supreme court
in Brooklyn illustrates how corpora
lions seek to tire out individual COM
plants. In February, 1882, boy
four year old was struck with a whip
by driver of one of the Van Brunt
Street and Erie Basin Railroad Com
pany's cars and knocked under the
wheel, which cut off five of bis fingers.
A suit tried in October, 1888, resulted
in verdict of $4,000 against the
company. An appeal resulted in a
new trial on technlcality, and 81,
900 damages was the result. Another
appeal was taken, and decided in Feb
ruary, 1885, sustaining the verdict.
Then the case was taken to the court
of appeals, and in May, 1887, the
decision was affirmed. The company
next applied for reopening on afida-
Wits of new evidence and in June last
this application was denied in special
term. The matter was again carried
to the general term, with a like re.
suit. As no appeals lies to the court
of appeals ON this last decision, the
company must pay at last. In such
cases the defendant ought to be COM
PEELED to pay compound interest, com
puted halfyearly, from the date OF
the first verdict.

BAzoo reporter last night that in a
rough assay of the product of that
mine, it was discovered that ten per
cent of the ore was silver, increasing
the value of the product several hun
dred per cent. They are still taking
out large quantities of ore, and this
new discovery has greatly accelerated
the sale of the capital stock. Five
hundred shares were disposed of in
ST. Louis last week.

The people from the length and
breadth of Missouri are taking posi-
ton regarding men and measures that
will be prominent in the next general
election. Missouri must elect officials
from township constable to governor.

takes pleasure in favorabl mention
for judge of the court of appeals
Judge James B. CAN'T, of Henry
county. Judge CAN'T is the peer of
any man in the state in his profession,
of untiring industry, indomitable
will power and incorruptible-all
necessary requisites to place to pass
upon constructions put upon the
statutes as they come from the people.
The Judge was upon the bench six
years ss circuit judge. and the record
made there commends him to every
one who knows bis ability and fear
lessness in duty. The BAzoo throws
out these suggestions and hints to the
people and the press of the state, in
order that the matter may be fully
discussed before the convention meets
at Sedalia next summer to nominate a
state ticket.
